This edited book is a comparative study on teacher education across
ten major Englishspeaking regions of the world (USA, English
Canada, England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Singapore, Hong Kong,
South Africa, Australia, New Zealand). The focus on individual
regions is reflective of a comparative approach with a long
tradition going back to the turn of the twentieth century. This
approach is still valid at the present time as it provides one of
the best ways of initially structuring our understanding of teacher
education at the macro level in order to facilitate communication
of the situation crossnationally and prepare the way for higher
levels of analyses. To this end, the book has twelve chapters: An
introductory chapter details the focus of the book. This is
followed by a chapter on each of the ten regions.Each of these
chapters, written by an expert in the field: focuses on general
trends in teacher education rather than on any specific aspect of
it; focuses primarily on pre-service teacher education at the
primary and post-primary levels, although some reference is also
made to continuing professional development; strikes a balance
between past, present and future trends; deals broadly with access
to, the processes involved in, and the structure of, teacher
education; has a unique structure rather than one based upon a
formulaic approach. In the final chapter major themes are distilled
from the case studies. It also outlines how the book furthers
understanding of teacher education internationally, considers other
groupings of regions ripe for consideration along similar lines,
and indicates initiatives arising out of the case studies worthy of
consideration for the improvement of teacher education
crossnationally.
